Description

The installation guide says one needs to create an "M2" environment variable.

However, M2 only appears to be used for updating the PATH; it does not appear to be used by the Maven scripts.

If it's not necessary - only a convenience - then this should be stated, and / or the instructions reworded to avoid using it.
